We awoke at 4:15 am and found a beautiful clear morning. After walking Lucy and snapping a few pictures at sunrise, we pulled anchor and left the dock at 5:30 am. We had a good 50-mile sail and arrived at the Manitowoc, Wisconsin, harbor at 12:30 pm where we hooked on to a mooring ball at the municipal marina. We took a dinghy ride up the river and into town, going by the World War II submarine on display outside the Maritime Museum. Twenty-eight of these submarines were built in Manitowoc for WWII, the last two of which were never placed into service. If we’d had a little more time, we would have toured the museum as well as the submarine; however, it was getting late in the afternoon and we needed to get back to the boat to finish preparing for our trip to Iowa tomorrow.
